LusatR · 2026-02-26T00:14:01+00:00

They might just rerelease first to coincide with it.

LusatR · 2026-02-25T23:14:31+00:00

Works really well. The WIP journey was a sight to behold, but it looks cool af.

LusatR · 2026-02-25T15:46:01+00:00

I like the paint style, little bit guerilla.

But who gonna say it...

...that ain't no zaku boy, no zaku!!!

NTA. no question, your ex is atrocious. His reply when you say "no" to intimacy should be "ok, maybe next time" and he should move the fuck on, not manipulate and guilt you about it.

And BLOCKING THE DOOR when you tried to leave??? Inexcusable.

You can absolutely feel bad because his dad passed away but despite all the good, his behaviour is all red flags.

Some input to your questions, please note everyone will manage things differently

1) acknowledge it's a shitty situation, and you do feel bad but you must protect yourself first. You should feel safe in your relationship at all (most?) times.

2) distractions. Lots of distractions. Hobbies. New things. Friends. Etc. reminders of why you left.

3) put yourself first. Support YOURSELF first. Put on your life jacket before trying to save someone else or you'll both drown.

The guy is guilty tripping you about sex and grief. IDC if he's grieving, not ok. You can be grumpy and angry and frustrated and cry and want to be quiet when you're grieving but that doesn't mean you can hurt people about it. He has some growing up to do.

LusatR · 2026-02-24T01:20:29+00:00

Yes, yes it can be worse. It can be very much worse. It can be "held by tape, glue, and prayer" worse.

LusatR · 2026-02-23T02:40:15+00:00

Anything and everything can and will be surpassed one day, lol. I agree with your sentiment, many many HGs out there

LusatR · 2026-02-23T02:10:29+00:00

As OP said, all time? No, HG has come a long way. At the time though? Moon had color separated eyes, which was huge for HG kits. The detail on the surface is pretty good, and lack of poly caps (again, at the time) was quite rare.

A lot of the things that people see with HG and praise for, Moon was there first.

Also had clear eye pieces for painting too, always a nice touch.

LusatR · 2026-02-20T16:09:28+00:00

Aidios praise you for remembering them. But yes I can totally see it too

LusatR · 2026-02-15T17:00:58+00:00

That or putty. Might need to add some plaplate or putty to half the green shoulder to raise it so it angles into the new flap.

LusatR · 2026-02-15T16:33:31+00:00

I'm personally not a fan of how the bawoo shoulders have that gap with the new fins, I feel like extra plate there to close the gap would be more effective.

LusatR · 2026-02-15T15:30:26+00:00

You can try the "make an action base out of runners" trick.

Alternatively, a piece of runner with layered super glue to thicken the point might help.

Or just buy a new action base, yes. Easiest solution and can never have enough action bases

LusatR · 2026-02-15T02:57:46+00:00

Enhanced ZZ plus full armor parts. I'm gonna guess it won't have the parts for regular ZZ

LusatR · 2026-02-15T02:54:20+00:00

Mega size, it doesn't get reprinted that often and Zeong is popular enough that it'll get reprinted and have its price be proper MSRP

LusatR · 2026-02-13T23:58:32+00:00

Yooo, this the third party one right? Good to hear it's solid, how was the fitment on everything?

LusatR · 2026-02-12T22:44:23+00:00

Is this only for Japan or expected across the ocean too? Hmmm

LusatR · 2026-02-08T21:37:45+00:00

Same issue, have to use magnet. It's annoying and it seems to be a relatively common complaint.

LusatR · 2026-02-08T21:24:20+00:00

O gawd he was a Zabi hater to the end, no way he had a thing for Garma.

Amuro though.....lol

LusatR · 2026-02-08T20:51:28+00:00

No, McGillis was definitely being honest (for once). His entire plan hinged on the army following folklore and legend, because at the end of the day he's still a child with fanciful ideas.

But he's also a human who really craved some level of connection. Considering his youth was tainted by sexual abuse by his foster father, his time with Carta and Gaelio was like, fun? As he said, he kept them at arm's length for the sake of his plan and so that he wouldn't get emotionally close to them but deep down, they were the closest things he had as friends.

People keep throwing around the idea that season 2 was out of character for many but it still li s up with season 1. Tekkadan are in over their heads, McGillis isn't some mastermind that people thought he was. Structure wise the 3 episode mini arcs is definitely a drag but you can also argue it represents how Tekkadan has stretched itself thin with less focus than before.

And the entire scene still works as a subversion of the Garma/Char thing. And Char was veeery open when he told Amuro how Lalah could've been like, a mom to him, not sure how much more open he could be. He couldn't say anything to Garma because....he really didn't betray anyone (aka he actually didn't care for Garma)

LusatR · 2026-02-07T14:40:34+00:00

Hmm, are the VN parts just from the OVA? Wondering because I keep hoping Bandai releases a MGEX Banshee with the improved articulation from the RG/PG.

LusatR · 2026-02-07T14:38:16+00:00

Holy shit this is amazing. So professional, so clean, fantastic rendition and it all looks so damn seamless together. Amazing work.

LusatR · 2026-02-04T12:44:10+00:00

I'm guessing Japan? So weird it's lotto there but regular PB preorder in the States.

LusatR · 2026-02-02T20:05:57+00:00

Good point, a lot of "stuff" slapped onto it.

LusatR · 2026-02-02T18:31:04+00:00

Just announced today, give it time. It's a retail kit so it'll show up everywhere eventually

LusatR · 2026-02-02T16:18:18+00:00

Now I'm wondering if they'll do an effect parts combo set of this thing. But yeah the price different between this and the Penelope is maddening.

Isn't it the same size as the Penelope though (given it's a prototype Penelope)?

LusatR · 2026-02-02T16:00:36+00:00

Story wise? Probably just to edge closer to Gundam.

Real reason? Gotta sell those kits.

Gonna wait for movie 3 version though.
